    Hey Everybody,

    My name is Ian and back in October I bought a 1975 Ford Maverick Grabber. This car is my first venture into a carburetor engine. Unfortunately, living in the Northeast, you really only get a few months of prime classic car weather. So right now, I'm prepping it for the local car show scene. This includes fixing the reverse light and getting the speedo to work. I was hoping I can get some great knowledge and conversing with experience owners, so here I am. I will post pictures at a later date. Thank you and I look forward to posting with all of you at some point.

    Welcome to the site from northeast Ohio!!! :tiphat: Where are you at in New Hampshire? I used to travel all over that state based out of Lowell, MA. I spent some long cold winter nights in Colebrook.

    Hey Guys,
    I added my "introduction video" to my signature. You can check it out. Update: I did get the tire fixed and the missing headlight bulb has been replaced.
